Porto - Confeitaria do Bolhão

Porto is with a population of about 250.000 the largest city in Northern Portugal. In "Greater Porto", the metropolitan area, live even more than 1.7 million people.

The historical center of Porto was proclaimed a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996. Port wine is named after Porto, since the cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia on the southern banks of the river Douro are the centers for packaging, transport and export of the fortified wine. Some years ago I had been here for a couple of days before I started the "Camino Portugues" here.

The "Confeitaria do Bolhão" is a bakery and pastry shop, that was founded in 1896 and existed upto 1985. After the doors were locked for 10 years it was reopened and by now, here is as well a snack-bar and a restaurant. I had a nice breakfast here.
